variace / covariance components of 227118 first lactaiom test-day milk yield records belonged to 31258 iranian holstein cows were estimated using nine random regression models. afterwards, different measures of persistency based on estimation breeding value were evaluated. three functions were used to adjust fixed lactation curve: ali and schaeffer (as), quadratic (le3) and cubic (le4) order of...

This study concerns the determination of empirical evidence a real estate market premium for Green Buildings and an aware role private as driver to foster-up urban architectural sustainability energy efficiency. In markets, there is growing relevance Buildings, especially in cities where greater part residential buildings built before first regulations on performance. Through policies oriented ...

Risk-based management and rehabilitation of water distribution systems requires that company asset data are collected and also that a methodology is available to efficiently extract information from data. The process of extracting useful information from data is called knowledge discovery and at its core is data mining. This automated analysis of large or complex datasets is performed to determ...

Genetic programming (GP) of four levels complexity, including artificial neural networks the hyper-tanh activation function (ANN-Hyper-Tanh), sigmoid (ANN-Sigmoid), evolutionary polynomial regression (optimized with genetic algorithm) (EPR), and intelligent techniques have been used to predict erodibility lateritic soil collected from an erosion site treated hybrid cement. Southeastern Nigeria ...

the properties relevant to pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of four series of synthesized s-triazine derivatives have been studied by quantitative structure-retention relationship (qsrr) approach. the chromatographic behavior of these compounds was investigated by using reversed-phase high performance thin-layer chromatography (rp-hptlc). chromatographic retention (rm0) was correlated with...

test day milk records of a holstein dairy farm collected during years 2004 to 2006 on 142 cows in the 1st lactation vs. 140 cows in the 2nd lactation were used in this research. there were real milk yields of cows available in each part of lactation in this farm making it possible to compare functions based on the new criteria (squared error of estimation). five functions were compared to estim...
